Contrary
to media reports that there was merger between the seven rebel
governors of Peoples Democratic Party, otherwise known as ‘News PDP’ and
the newly registered All Progressives Congress, APC; the interim
national publicity secretary of APC, Alhaji Lai Mohammed vehemently
avowed that there was no merger between the G-7 but the ‘new Peoples
Democratic Party’, PDP, which comprises of the G-7 and all members of
the splinter PDP called the ‘New PDP’.Lai Mohammed made this declaration on a live radio programme,tagged ‘E gbe yewo’ on Faaji Fm 106.5 in Lagos monitored by our correspondent. The APC image maker made it known that it is quite erroneous to say APC merged with the G-7.
Against reports credited to Niger State Governor, Babangida Aliyu that he was not at the meeting where the decision to merge was taken; Lai Mohammed stated that the governor was at the meeting and was part of the decision but gave an excuse and later left few minute before the conclusion of the merger process.
He concluded that the pact signed by APC and the ‘New PDP’ led by Alhaji Abubakar Kawu Baraje by implication, except otherwise, means since yesterday, all G-7 governors, senators, house of rep members and all members of the splinter PDP members are now in All Progressives.
